What if every AI interaction with a customer built upon the last, instead of starting from scratch every single time, or at least having it feel that way? Agility requires not just reacting quickly to customer needs, but learning continuously from every interaction to anticipate the next one. This means our technology, especially our AI, can't operate with amnesia; it must have a persistent, shared memory. Today, we're going to talk about breaking down the silos between our AI systems. We'll explore a concept that promises to give our AI a persistent memory, allowing different models and platforms to share context and build a truly continuous, intelligent customer experience. To help me discuss this topic, I'd like to welcome, David Funck, Chief Technology Officer at Avaya.

What Cynthia's Drinking: Freixenet Zero Brut (non-alcoholic sparkling wine) What Jessica's Drinking: 2023 Chenin Blanc from Encanto Vineyards (Lake County) This week on Wine & Chisme, we sit down with Cynthia Prato- Army veteran, author, and certified life coach, for one of our most powerful conversations yet. Cynthia opens up about enlisting in the National Guard on a dare, becoming a military interrogator, and being one of the only women in her unit. She shares her experiences with military sexual trauma (MST), the PTSD she carried silently for years, and the moment she realized her unhealed trauma was affecting her son. From growing up as a Mexi-Nica in Miami to serving in Hungary during post-9/11 tensions, Cynthia's journey is raw, real, and ultimately redemptive. We talk about: ✨ Being the first Latina woman in her family to serve ✨ Navigating relationships while carrying unprocessed trauma ✨ The decision to stop drinking and start healing ✨ Setting boundaries with family ✨ Why self-care doesn't require a spa day ✨ How to find your purpose when life doesn't go as planned This conversation gets deep, but it's also filled with hope, humor, and hard-earned wisdom. Cynthia reminds us that healing isn't linear, it's never too late to choose yourself, and whatever you're not changing, you're choosing.

En esta emisión analizamos la declaratoria de Donald Trump al clasificar al fentanilo como “arma de destrucción masiva”, una decisión con posibles implicaciones jurídicas, militares y de intervención en América Latina, tema que abordamos con el consultor en seguridad David Saucedo, mientras la presidenta Claudia Sheinbaum reconoce que su gobierno ya evalúa los alcances del anuncio; además, visibilizamos el aumento del acoso contra mujeres y niñas durante el periodo Guadalupe-Reyes, una problemática recurrente y normalizada, con el análisis de la Dra. María Elena Esparza Guevara, fundadora de Ola Violeta, sobre omisiones institucionales y focos rojos; también conversamos con Iván Escalante, titular de PROFECO, sobre el operativo decembrino, recomendaciones para compras navideñas, prevención de fraudes y la plataforma oficial de reventa de boletos del Mundial; en espectáculos, revisamos la portada de la semana de TVNotas con Verónica Garay, coordinadora editorial, y cerramos con un respiro en Trapos Trendo, donde Gustavo Prado, director de Trendo MX, presenta la tendencia Shanghái, una de las corrientes clave de la moda rumbo a 2026, inspirada en elementos asiáticos y el misticismo oriental.

Confira os destaques de Os Pingos nos Is desta terça-feira (16):O presidente Lula (PT) afirmou ter enviado uma mensagem ao presidente dos Estados Unidos, Donald Trump (Republicano), agradecendo pela retirada da Lei Magnitsky e pedindo o fim das sanções contra outras autoridades brasileiras. Segundo Lula, Brasil e Estados Unidos ainda têm pendências a resolver, mas a relação comercial e política segue em processo de normalização. O ex-presidente Jair Bolsonaro (PL) aceitou uma versão mais restrita do projeto de redução de penas para réus do 8 de janeiro, que não o beneficiaria diretamente. A proposta, defendida pelo senador Veneziano Vital do Rêgo (MDB-PB), deve ser debatida apenas em 2026. Segundo Flávio Bolsonaro (PL-RJ), o ex-presidente afirmou que sua prioridade é ver manifestantes em casa, mesmo que ele próprio cumpra pena. A pesquisa Quaest divulgada nesta terça-feira aponta que o senador Flávio Bolsonaro (PL) é o nome mais competitivo da oposição contra o presidente Lula (PT) na disputa presidencial de 2026. No levantamento, Lula aparece com 39% das intenções de voto, enquanto Flávio soma 23%, superando outros nomes como Tarcísio de Freitas, Ronaldo Caiado, Romeu Zema e Ratinho Junior. O governo de São Paulo, sob a gestão de Tarcísio de Freitas (Republicanos) e do então secretário de Segurança Pública Guilherme Derrite (PL), registrou em outubro os menores índices de roubos, latrocínios e homicídios desde 2001. Segundo a Secretaria de Segurança, a taxa de mortes caiu de 33,3 para 5,53 por 100 mil habitantes. O governo atribui os resultados ao uso de tecnologia, inteligência policial e a programas como a Muralha Paulista. O presidente da Câmara dos Deputados, Hugo Motta (Republicanos), decidiu não levar ao plenário a votação sobre a perda de mandato do deputado Alexandre Ramagem (PL-RJ). A decisão foi concentrada na Mesa Diretora como forma de reduzir tensões entre os Poderes e no Congresso. A tendência é que a Mesa também analise os casos de Eduardo Bolsonaro (PL-SP), Carla Zambelli (PL-SP) e Glauber Braga (PSOL-RJ). Após a vitória de José Antonio Kast no Chile, o presidente da Argentina, Javier Milei (La Libertad Avanza), compartilhou uma imagem que retrata o Brasil e outros países governados pela esquerda como uma grande favela. A publicação contrasta nações alinhadas à direita com países sob governos progressistas e afirma que a população sul-americana pede liberdade e o fim do que chamou de socialismo empobrecedor. Os Estados Unidos elevaram a tensão na América Latina ao classificar a gangue colombiana Clan del Golfo como organização terrorista. Segundo o Departamento de Estado, a medida busca conter a violência de cartéis e grupos criminosos transnacionais. A decisão abre brechas para possíveis operações no país governado por Gustavo Petro (Colômbia). Você confere essas e outras notícias em Os Pingos nos Is.
Donald Trump sigue atacando supuestas narcolanchas en el Caribe y en el Pacífico. Acusa a sus ocupantes de ser “narcoterroristas” del Tren de Aragua, una banda criminal venezolana que nació en la cárcel deTocorón y se ha expandido por América Latina. Sin embargo, la periodista que mejor conoce el Tren de Aragua duda de que las víctimas pertenecieran a él.

Carros elétricos ainda levantam muitas dúvidas entre os consumidores brasileiros, especialmente quando o assunto é carregamento, segurança e vida útil da bateria. Afinal, é seguro carregar o carro em casa? O carregamento rápido desgasta a bateria? Dá para viajar longas distâncias sem ficar na mão? No episódio de hoje do Podcast Canaltech, conversamos com Clemente Gauer, coordenador do Grupo de Trabalho sobre Segurança e integrante do Conselho Diretor da Associação Brasileira do Veículo Elétrico (ABVE), para esclarecer os principais mitos e verdades sobre a recarga de veículos elétricos no Brasil. Durante a conversa, Clemente explica como está a infraestrutura de recarga no país, fala sobre os cuidados necessários no carregamento residencial, comenta casos de incêndio que ganharam repercussão e detalha boas práticas para preservar a bateria no dia a dia.

Medicine finds its way into our lives not through textbooks, but by getting sand in our shoes, salt in our hair, and noticing how our hands long to be in the dirt—or on people.Liz Vitale didn't simply move to the Oregon Coast. She rooted herself there among fishermen, surfers, firefighters, foresters, Latina moms, and retirees. Over time she became part of the village, not just as a practitioner, but as a neighbor, a volunteer firefighter, a customer at the grocery store and regular at the surfer pub.In this conversation with Liz, we explore what happens when medicine is not practiced from behind clinic doors, but amidst the actual people it serves. We talk about treating fishermen underserved by mainstream care, how not to impose our “Chinese medicine stories” on patients, how community softens judgment, and how sometimes medicine works quietly—by helping people first feel seen.Listen into this discussion as we explore how healing unfolds differently in rural places, why living joyfully may be part of the prescription, how treating everybody includes those who don't agree with you, and how sometimes you find out how your treatments are working not from a clinic visit—but from the local pub, where someone shouts over fish and chips, “Liz, the herbs are working.”

What if the biggest risk in deploying AI isn't the technology itself, but how your team is able to understand its most significant benefits? Agility requires more than just adapting your technology stack; it demands a flexible brand narrative and a creative approach that can evolve with customer sentiment and cultural shifts. This is particularly true when tackling a topic as hyped and misunderstood as artificial intelligence. Today, we're going to talk about what it takes to break the mold of traditional B2B marketing, particularly in the age of AI. We'll explore how brands can move beyond feature-focused messaging to create genuine emotional resonance and build a brand that feels both innovative and human.

In this episode, we sit with Simeon in Luke 2:25–32, a righteous and devout man who waited faithfully for the consolation of Israel in a season marked by political tension, spiritual dryness, and generations of unanswered longing. We explore what it meant to wait during the time of Jesus' birth, how the Holy Spirit guided Simeon's obedience, and why God often fulfills His promises through ordinary faithfulness rather than extraordinary moments.Please leave a comment or review for this episode to help us share this content with others!

La violencia progresará en America Latina y el Caribe en 2026, es la conclusión de la ONG Acled, dedicada al análisis de los conflictos, teniendo en cuenta el aumento de las actividades ilícitas en la región. En este programa se analizan los factores del contexto actual que ha tenido en cuenta la organización en su informe. El mayor despliegue de tropas de Estados Unidos en el Caribe, el régimen de excepción en El Salvador o el aumento de ataques con drones por parte de las guerrillas en Colombia, son solo algunos de los síntomas que hacen que la ONG Acled, considere que la violencia se extenderá en 2026 por América Latina y el Caribe. Sandra Pellegrini, analista senior de la organización, explica que la violencia de las organizaciones criminales es un problema que ya estaba instalado en varios países, pero que la presión de la administración del presidente Donald Trump ha exacerbado: "La influencia de Estados Unidos es indirecta. Lo que ha hecho Estados Unidos ha sido presionar a gobiernos de las regiones a adoptar medidas que Estados Unidos, o más bien la administración de Trump, ve alineada a sus políticas ideológicas. Estamos observando, especialmente en países latinoamericanos y caribeños que van hacia procesos electorales en el 2026, una aceleración, una adopción de políticas militarizadas." Donald Trump estrenó su mandato con una orden ejecutiva que declaraba a varias de estas organizaciones criminales latinoamericanas como "terroristas", y esto animó a varios países —como Argentina, Ecuador o Guatemala— a hacer lo mismo. Esto permite a los Gobiernos a responder militarmente contra estos grupos, algo que Acled califica de ineficaz: "No tenemos resultados concluyentes de que llevan a disminuciones de violencia sostenida en el tiempo y geográficamente; y en otros casos, hemos observado que operativos militarizados incluso, pueden conllevar a un aumento de las violencias, pueden tener como consecuencia de fragmentar un grupo criminal y reactivar una pelea por el poder dentro de esos grupos o de esas facciones. Tenemos, por ejemplo, el caso de México, donde el arresto de "El Mayo", uno de los líderes del cártel de Sinaloa, ha llevado a una pelea letal que sigue hasta el día de hoy. Y también en el caso de El Salvador, hemos observado que esos operativos han llevado a disputas para el poder interno y la creación de nuevas facciones." Además, este discurso empieza a instrumentalizarse en los procesos electorales de varios países, concluye Sandra Pellegrini: "Muchas figuras políticas que están haciendo campañas en el proceso electoral (están) promoviendo una seguridad militarizada porque han visto que justamente en el caso del Salvador ha llevado a esos niveles de popularidad del presidente Nayib Bukele. Entonces yo creo que hay un motivo bastante fuerte electoralmente." En su informe, Acled teme que los estados se vuelvan los principales actores de la violencia en la región y alerta del riesgo de abusos como ejecuciones extrajudiciales o desapariciones forzadas.
Donald Trump ha derogado decretos que Joe Biden había firmado con autopen, una máquina que imita la firma de una persona para poder signar en grandes cantidades documentos. Con Alana Moceri, profesora de Relaciones Internacionales en IE University en Madrid, explicamos por qué esto es una forma del mandatario estadounidense de economizar la atención.Desde 2017, el programa Barcelona Protege a Periodistas de México ha acogido a más de 30 profesionales de la información que han tenido que salir temporalmente del país más peligroso de América Latina para ejercer el periodismo.

Estamos observando, especialmente en países latinoamericanos y caribeños que van hacia procesos electorales en el 2026, una aceleración, una adopción de políticas militarizadas." Donald Trump estrenó su mandato con una orden ejecutiva que declaraba a varias de estas organizaciones criminales latinoamericanas como "terroristas", y esto animó a varios países —como Argentina, Ecuador o Guatemala— a hacer lo mismo. Esto permite a los Gobiernos a responder militarmente contra estos grupos, algo que Acled califica de ineficaz: "No tenemos resultados concluyentes de que llevan a disminuciones de violencia sostenida en el tiempo y geográficamente; y en otros casos, hemos observado que operativos militarizados incluso, pueden conllevar a un aumento de las violencias, pueden tener como consecuencia de fragmentar un grupo criminal y reactivar una pelea por el poder dentro de esos grupos o de esas facciones. Tenemos, por ejemplo, el caso de México, donde el arresto de "El Mayo", uno de los líderes del cártel de Sinaloa, ha llevado a una pelea letal que sigue hasta el día de hoy. Y también en el caso de El Salvador, hemos observado que esos operativos han llevado a disputas para el poder interno y la creación de nuevas facciones." Además, este discurso empieza a instrumentalizarse en los procesos electorales de varios países, concluye Sandra Pellegrini: "Muchas figuras políticas que están haciendo campañas en el proceso electoral (están) promoviendo una seguridad militarizada porque han visto que justamente en el caso del Salvador ha llevado a esos niveles de popularidad del presidente Nayib Bukele. Entonces yo creo que hay un motivo bastante fuerte electoralmente." En su informe, Acled teme que los estados se vuelvan los principales actores de la violencia en la región y alerta del riesgo de abusos como ejecuciones extrajudiciales o desapariciones forzadas.
Confira os destaques de Os Pingos nos Is desta sexta-feira (12):O deputado federal Eduardo Bolsonaro (PL) comentou a decisão dos Estados Unidos de retirar o ministro Alexandre de Moraes e sua esposa da lista de sancionados pela Lei Magnitsky. Ele lamentou o recuo do governo americano e atribuiu a mudança à falta de união da direita no Brasil. Em publicação nas redes sociais, Eduardo também afirmou esperar que a decisão seja positiva para os interesses estratégicos dos EUA. Integrantes do governo dos Estados Unidos elogiaram a aprovação do PL da dosimetria no Congresso brasileiro, após o fim da aplicação da Lei Magnitsky. O número dois do secretário de Estado, Marco Rubio (Republicano), afirmou que o avanço da proposta representa um primeiro passo para combater o que chamou de abusos do Judiciário e normalizar as relações entre os dois países. Já Christopher Landau destacou preocupação com casos de perseguição e censura no Brasil. O presidente do Supremo Tribunal Federal, Edson Fachin, aposta na pressão da sociedade por mais transparência para convencer os ministros a aprovarem um código de ética e conduta na Corte. Segundo informações da Folha de S. Paulo, a proposta se inspira no modelo alemão, que prioriza a divulgação de dados, como valores recebidos em palestras. Apesar disso, a iniciativa enfrenta resistência interna, em meio a tensões entre o Judiciário e o Congresso. Um funcionário terceirizado da Enel foi preso nesta quinta-feira em São Paulo após ser flagrado cobrando R$ 2,5 mil para religar a energia elétrica de um endereço na zona sul da capital. Segundo o boletim de ocorrência, Alex Rodrigues Nogueira fez a cobrança indevida de um comércio que estava sem luz há mais de 30 horas. O empresário simulou o pagamento da propina e acionou o subprefeito de Vila Mariana, Rafael Minatogawa, que realizou o flagrante. De acordo com a Enel, mais de 700 mil imóveis seguem sem energia elétrica na capital paulista. Após a revelação de uma conversa entre Lula e Nicolás Maduro, o presidente brasileiro afirmou que disse a Donald Trump não querer guerra na América Latina. Segundo Lula, o diálogo ocorreu na semana passada. O chefe do Executivo declarou acreditar que a palavra tem mais poder do que a arma e afirmou que buscará uma saída diplomática para reduzir as tensões entre os países. Para reencontrar os filhos e receber o Prêmio Nobel da Paz na Noruega, María Corina Machado, líder da oposição venezuelana, precisou ser retirada da Venezuela por uma equipe privada de resgate formada por veteranos norte-americanos. A missão teve início na terça-feira e envolveu operações aéreas, terrestres e marítimas, com duração estimada entre 15 e 16 horas. Você confere essas e outras notícias em Os Pingos nos Is.

Confira os destaques de Os Pingos nos Is desta quinta-feira (11):O estado de São Paulo enfrenta um cenário de caos após a passagem de um ciclone extratropical: mais de 1 milhão de imóveis seguem sem energia há mais de 30 horas e mais de 380 voos foram cancelados. Ventos de quase 100 km/h derrubaram mais de 1.500 árvores e apagaram mais de 200 semáforos, causando 900 km de congestionamento. A Enel afirma que trechos inteiros da rede foram destruídos, enquanto o Procon cobra respostas imediatas. O presidente Lula (PT) telefonou para Nicolás Maduro para expressar preocupação com a escalada militar dos Estados Unidos no Caribe e oferecer apoio diplomático. Segundo o Itamaraty, o diálogo foi cordial e buscou reforçar o papel do Brasil como possível mediador entre EUA e Venezuela. Lula também questionou Donald Trump sobre a intenção de atacar o país vizinho, alertando para impactos em toda a América Latina. O presidente da Câmara, Hugo Motta, enfrentou uma derrota dupla e ficou isolado após fracassar na tentativa de cassar os mandatos de Glauber Braga e Carla Zambelli. A condução das votações irritou governo, oposição e até aliados do centrão, incluindo Arthur Lira, que afirmou que Motta “está perdido” e ouviu “as pessoas erradas”. A avaliação interna é de que o presidente deveria ter adiado as decisões. O senador Esperidião Amin (PP-SC), relator da dosimetria no Senado, afirmou que nada impede a inclusão de uma emenda para retomar a anistia aos envolvidos no 8 de Janeiro. Amin disse ser favorável ao perdão, mas não garantiu que colocará a medida em seu relatório. Ele considera provável que outro parlamentar apresente a proposta. A Câmara aprovou o texto após acordo para deixar a anistia fora da pauta. A Câmara dos Deputados deve rejeitar as mudanças feitas pelo Senado no PL Antifacção, após o texto ser alterado pelo relator Alessandro Vieira a pedido do governo. O projeto, que inclui taxação de bets para financiar ações contra o crime organizado, foi classificado como “mutilado” por parlamentares. Deputados também devem avançar com a PEC da Segurança Pública na próxima semana. O presidente Lula (PT) minimizou a pré-candidatura do senador Flávio Bolsonaro à Presidência e ironizou a oposição. Ao comentar a disputa eleitoral, o petista afirmou que “quem inventa muito nome é porque não tem nenhum”. Nos bastidores, o governo avalia como remota a chance de Flávio consolidar a candidatura e considera Tarcísio de Freitas o nome mais competitivo da direita para 2026. O senador Flávio Bolsonaro enfrentou resistência ao pedir apoio do Centrão para sua pré-candidatura à Presidência. Em jantar com Ciro Nogueira e Antônio Rueda, o parlamentar ouviu que seu nome enfrenta alta rejeição e que Tarcísio de Freitas seria a opção mais competitiva para a direita. Apesar da pressão, Flávio afirmou que sua candidatura é irreversível. Os líderes prometeram consultar suas bancadas antes de definir apoio. Você confere essas e outras notícias em Os Pingos nos Is.

NotiMundo Estelar - Andrés Robalino, Firma del convenio con el Banco de Desarrollo de América Latina y el Caribe by FM Mundo 98.1
Gobernanza y transparencia como pilares de permanencia En las empresas, la gobernanza, la transparencia y la capacidad de transmitir y evolucionar son los factores que permiten perseverar y perdurar en el tiempo. Cuanto más claridad, orden y reglas bien definidas existan, mejor. Primero: transparencia. Segundo: visión de largo plazo. No podemos quedarnos atrapados en problemas coyunturales, como los aranceles de un año determinado. Los problemas, muchas veces, han generado las mejores oportunidades. La clave está en avanzar con enfoque y pensar siempre en el largo plazo. Más que cambiar la misión, FEMSA ha fortalecido lo que ya existía: el valor social como parte integral de su propósito. Hoy, esa misión combina valor económico y valor social de forma inseparable. De lo financiero a lo operativo: redefinir el enfoque estratégico Durante la década de los noventa, la compañía vivía bajo un enfoque predominantemente financiero. Este esquema generaba una distracción inconsciente respecto a lo operativo y lo estratégico. La liquidez es oxígeno: sin flujo, no hay supervivencia. Esa perspectiva llevó a redefinir la estrategia empresarial, trasladando el foco del resultado financiero a la gestión operativa y al fortalecimiento estructural. Enfoque y especialización: crecer desde lo concreto FEMSA se propuso satisfacer al consumidor de bebidas con excelencia. Apostó por una estrategia enfocada, casi contraria a la diversificación. La segunda meta fue duplicar el valor de la empresa cada cinco años, y lo logró 4.5 veces consecutivas durante las dos primeras décadas. Integración organizacional: hablar un solo idioma Uno de los retos más importantes fue la fragmentación interna. Las divisiones operaban de forma aislada, sin comunicación entre sí y con criterios contables distintos. La solución fue clara: integración total. Se estableció un solo idioma contable, reuniones periódicas y protocolos comunes. Las juntas ejecutivas incorporaron a todos los directores del grupo, no solo a los de Coca-Cola o del parque industrial. Legado y valores: el liderazgo que se hereda Las enseñanzas de figuras como Don Isaac Garza y Don Eugenio han sido fundamentales. Desde 1890, la empresa conserva en Secretaría todas las actas de Consejo. El orden, la gobernanza y el aprecio por la educación se mantienen como pilares. Uno de los grandes aprendizajes dentro de FEMSA ha sido la importancia de mantener informados e involucrados a los accionistas de control. Las reuniones periódicas y el respeto por la estructura de gobernanza son hoy una práctica inquebrantable. Cultura organizacional: atraer talento y cuidar la esencia FEMSA es hoy una de las compañías con más empleados en México y América Latina, con más de 400 000 colaboradores en 20 países. La relación con ellos es crítica: la cultura debe cuidarse, mantenerse y rejuvenecerse constantemente. Atraer talento con valores y principiossólidos es fundamental. La ética no se negocia: se respeta o se pierde. Internacionalización: aprender país por país Cada país tiene su propia dinámica. En Brasil, por ejemplo, la flexibilidad laboral es mayor; en Coca-Cola, las reglas operativas son distintas. FEMSA ha sabido adaptarse gradualmente a cada contexto. La comunicación ha sido un factor clave: se promueve la libertad para expresar ideas y la seguridad psicológica para hacerlo. Escuchar y mantener contacto directo con los empleados es esencial. La internacionalización ha sido una experiencia intensa: abrir nuevos mercados implicó pérdidas iniciales, pero con cada expansión se alcanzó el punto de equilibrio más rápido.

En este episodio, hablamos sobre la relevancia que todavía tiene la doctrina Monroe en la política de EE.UU., las tensiones dentro del movimiento MAGA y cómo la historia de la influencia estadounidense en América Latina sigue marcando el presente. También entramos en temas como la guerra contra el narcotráfico, la militarización en el Caribe y la situación geopolítica de Puerto Rico y Cuba, pensando en cómo todo ese trasfondo histórico afecta lo que vivimos hoy.Además, tocamos asuntos bien presentes para nosotros: el cambio climático, el rol de Trump en la política actual, la militarización en Puerto Rico, las relaciones internacionales, la corrupción, el papel del periodismo, la crisis energética, la independencia y hasta la cultura de violencia. Reflexionamos sobre la necesidad de repensar cómo estamos llevando la política y la discusión pública en Puerto Rico, y resaltamos lo importante que es la fiscalización y la búsqueda de verdadera independencia —sea política, económica o mental.

“It's not enough to build a system and then exit stage left when you realize it's broken. The ‘I'm sorry' is not the work — it's only the acknowledgment that work needs to be done. After the apology, you must actually do the repair. And what I see from her is the language of accountability without the actions that would demonstrate it. That's insufficient for real change.” Danielle (01:03):Well, I mean, what's not going on? Just, I don't know. I think the government feels more and more extreme. So that's one thing I feel people are like, why is your practice so busy? I'm like, have you seen the government? It's traumatizing all my clients. Hey Jeremy. Hey Jenny.Jenny (01:33):I'm in Charlottesville, Virginia. So close to Rebecca. We're going to soon.Rebecca (01:48):Yeah, she is. Yeah, she is. And before you pull up in my driveway, I need you to doorbell dish everybody with the Trump flag and then you can come. I'm so readyThat's a good question. That's a good question. I think that, I don't know that I know anybody that's ready to just say out loud. I am not a Trump supporter anymore, but I do know there's a lot of dissonance with individual policies or practices that impact somebody specifically. There's a lot of conversation about either he doesn't know what he's doing or somebody in his cabinet is incompetent in their job and their incompetency is making other people's lives harder and more difficult. Yeah, I think there's a lot of that.(03:08):Would she had my attention for about two minutes in the space where she was saying, okay, I need to rethink some of this. But then as soon as she says she was quitting Congress, I have a problem with that because you are part of the reason why we have the infrastructure that we have. You help build it and it isn't enough to me for you to build it and then say there's something wrong with it and then exit the building. You're not equally responsible for dismantling what you helped to put in place. So after that I was like, yeah, I don't know that there's any authenticity to your current set of objections,I'm not a fan of particularly when you are a person that in your public platform built something that is problematic and then you figure out that it's problematic and then you just leave. That's not sufficient for me, for you to just put on Twitter or Facebook. Oh yeah, sorry. That was a mistake. And then exit stage leftJenny (04:25):And I watched just a portion of an interview she was on recently and she was essentially called in to accountability and you are part of creating this. And she immediately lashed out at the interviewer and was like, you do this too. You're accusing me. And just went straight into defensive white lady mode and I'm just like, oh, you haven't actually learned anything from this. You're just trying to optically still look pure. That's what it seems like to me that she's wanting to do without actually admitting she has been. And she is complicit in the system that she was a really powerful force in building.Rebecca (05:12):Yeah, it reminds me of, remember that story, excuse me, a few years ago about that black guy that was birdwatching in Central Park and this white woman called the cops on him. And I watched a political analyst do some analysis of that whole engagement. And one of the things that he said, and I hate, I don't know the person name, whoever you are, if you said this and you hear this, I'm giving you credit for having said it, but one of the things that he was talking about is nobody wants you to actually give away your privilege. You actually couldn't if you tried. What I want you to do is learn how to leverage the privilege that you have for something that is good. And I think that example of that bird watching thing was like you could see, if you see the clip, you can see this woman, think about the fact that she has power in this moment and think about what she's going to do with that power.(06:20):And so she picks up her phone and calls the cops, and she's standing in front of this black guy lying, saying like, I'm in fear for my life. And as if they're doing anything except standing several feet apart, he is not yelling at you. He hasn't taken a step towards you, he doesn't have a weapon, any of that. And so you can see her figure out what her privilege looks like and feels like and sounds like in that moment. And you can see her use it to her own advantage. And so I've never forgotten that analysis of we're not trying to take that from you. We couldn't if we tried, we're not asking you to surrender it because you, if you tried, if you are in a place of privilege in a system, you can't actually give it up because you're not the person that granted it to yourself. The system gave it to you. We just want you to learn how to leverage it. So I would love to see Marjorie Taylor Greene actually leverage the platform that she has to do something good with it. And just exiting stays left is not helpful.Danielle (07:33):And to that point, even at that though, I've been struck by even she seems to have more, there's on the continuum of moral awareness, she seems to have inch her way in one direction, but I'm always flabbergasted by people close to me that can't even get there. They can't even move a millimeter. To me, it's wild.Well, I think about it. If I become aware of a certain part of my ignorance and I realize that in my ignorance I've been harming someone or something, I believe we all function on some kind of continuum. It's not that I don't think we all wake up and know right and wrong all the time. I think there's a lot of nuance to the wrongs we do to people, honestly. And some things feel really obvious to me, and I've observed that they don't feel obvious to other people. And if you're in any kind of human relationship, sometimes what you feel is someone feels as obvious to them, you're stepping all over them.(08:59):And I'm not talking about just hurting someone's feelings. I'm talking about, yeah, maybe you hurt their feelings, but maybe you violated them in that ignorance or I am talking about violations. So it seems to me that when Marjorie Taylor Green got on CN and said, I've been a part of this system kind of like Rebecca you're talking about. And I realized that ignoring chomp hyping up this rhetoric, it gets people out there that I can't see highly activated. And there's a group of those people that want to go to concrete action and inflict physical pain based on what's being said on another human being. And we see that, right? So whatever you got Charlie Kirk's murderer, you got assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King all throughout history we've seen these, the rhetoric and the violence turns into these physical actions. And so it seems to me like she had some awareness of what her contributing to that, along with the good old orange guy was doing contributes to violence. It seems to me like she inched in that direction.Rebecca (10:27):Yeah, like I said, I think you're right in that inching, she had my attention. And so then I'm waiting for her to actually do something substantive more than just the acknowledgement that I have been in error. And and I think part of that is that I think we have a way of thinking that the acknowledgement or the, I'm sorry, is the work, and it is not the, I'm sorry, is the acknowledgement that work needs to be done. So after you say, I'm sorry, now let's go do the work.Danielle (11:10):I mean our own therapeutic thing that we all went through that we have in common didn't have a concept for repair. So people are coming to therapy looking for a way to understand. And what I like to say is there's a theory of something, but there's no practical application of it that makes your theory useless in some sense to me or your theology, even if your ology has a theology of X, Y, Z, but you can't actually apply that. What is the use of it?Jenny (11:43):And I think that's best case scenario, and I think I'm a more cynical person than you are Danielle, but I see what's happening with Taylor Green and I'm like, this actually feels like when a very toxic, dangerous man goes to therapy and learns the therapy language and then is like it's my boundaries that you can't wear that dress. And it's like, no, no, that's not what we're doing. It's just it's my boundary that when there isn't that actual sense of, okay, I'm going to be a part of the work, to me it actually somehow feels potentially more dangerous because it's like I'm using the language and the optics of what will keep me innocent right now without actually putting any skin in the game.(12:51):Yeah, I would say it's an enactment of white womanhood. I would say it's intentional, but probably not fully conscious that it is her body moving in the way that she's been racially and gendered(13:07):Tradition to move. That goes in some ways maybe I can see that I've enacted harm, but I'm actually going to replicate the same thing in stepping into now a new position of performing white womanhood and saying the right things and doing the right things. But then the second an interviewee calls me out into accountability, I'm going to go into potentially white psychosis moment because I don't actually know how to metabolize the ways in which I am still complicit in the system. And to me, I think that's the impossibility of how do we work through the ways that these systems live in our bodies that isn't clean. It isn't pure, but I think the simplicity of I was blind now I see. I am very skeptical of,Rebecca (14:03):Yeah, I think it's interesting the notion that, and I'm going to misquote you so then you fix it. But something of like, I don't actually know how to metabolize these things and work them through. I only know this kind of performative space where I say what I'm expected to say.Jenny (14:33):Yeah, I think I see it as a both, and I don't totally disagree with the fact of there's not something you can do to get rid of your privilege. And I do think that we have examples of, oh goodness, I wish I could remember her name. Viola Davis. No, she was a white woman who drove, I was just at the African-American History Museum yesterday and was reminded of her face, but it's like Viola ela, I want to say she's a white woman from Detroit who drove down to the south during the bus boycotts to carpool black folks, and she was shot in the head and killed in her car because she stepped out of the bounds of performing white womanhood. And I do think that white bodies know at a certain level we can maintain our privilege and there is a real threat and a real cost to actually doing what needs to be done to not that we totally can abdicate our privilege. I think it is there, and I do think there are ways of stepping out of the bondage of our racial and gendered positions that then come with a very real threat.Rebecca (16:03):Yes. But I think I would say that this person that you're referring to, and again, I feel some kind of way about the fact that we can't name her name accurately. And there's probably something to that, right? She's not the only one. She's not the first one. She's not the last one who stepped outside of the bounds of what was expected of her on behalf of the Civil Rights Movement, on behalf of justice. And those are stories that we don't know and faces and names we cannot, that don't roll off the tip of our tongue like a Rosa Parks or a Medgar Evers or a Merley Evers or whoever. So that being said, I would say that her driving down to the South, that she had a car that she could drive, that she had the resources to do that is a leveraging of some of her privilege in a very real way, a very substantive way. And so I do think that I hear what you're saying that she gave up something of her privilege to do that, and she did so with a threat that for her was realizing a very violent way. And I would also say she leveraged what privilege she had in a way that for her felt like I want to offer something of the privilege that I have and the power that I have on behalf of someone who doesn't have it.(17:44):It kind of reminds me this question of is the apology enough or is the acknowledgement enough? It reminds me of what we did in the eighties and nineties around the racial reconciliation movement and the Promise Keepers thing and all those big conferences where the notion that the work of reconciliation was to stand on the stage and say, I realize I'm white and you're black, and I'm sorry. And we really thought that that was the work and that was sufficient to clear everything that needed to be cleared, and that was enough to allow people to move forward in proximity and connection to each other. And I think some of what we're living through 40, 45 years later is because that was not enough.(18:53):It barely scratched the surface to the extent that you can say that Donald Trump is not the problem. He is a symptom of the problem. To the extent that you could say that his success is about him stoking the fires that lie just beneath the surface in the realization that what happened with reconciliation in the nineties was not actually repair, it was not actually reconciliation. It was, I think what you're saying, Jenny, the sort of performative space where I'm speaking the language of repair and reconciliation, but I haven't actually done the work or paid the cost that is there in order to be reconciled.Danielle (19:40):That's in my line though. That's the continuum of moral awareness. You arrive to a spot, you address it to a certain point. And in that realm of awareness, what we've been told we can manage to think about, which is also goes back to Jenny's point of what the system has said. It's almost like under our system we have to push the system. It's so slow. And as we push the system out and we gain more awareness, then I think we realize we're not okay. I mean, clearly Latinos are not okay. They're a freaking mess. I think Mother Fers, half of us voted for Trump. The men, the women are pissed. You have some people that are like, you have to stay quiet right now, go hide. Other people are like, you got to be in the streets. It's a clear mess. But I don't necessarily think that's bad because we need to have, as a large group of people, a push of our own moral awareness.(20:52):What did we do that hurt ourselves? What were we willing to put up with to recolonize ourselves to agree to it, to agree to the fact that you could recolonize yourself. So I mean, just as a people group, if you can lump us all in together, and then the fact that he's going after countries of origin, destabilizing Honduras telling Mexico to release water, there is no water to release into Texas and California. There isn't the water to do it, but he can rant and rave or flying drones over Venezuela or shooting down all these ships. How far have we allowed ourselves in the system you're describing Rebecca, to actually say our moral awareness was actually very low. I would say that for my people group, very, very low, at least my experience in the states,Rebecca (21:53):I think, and this is a working theory of mine, I think like what you're talking about, Danielle, specifically in Latino cultures, my question has been when I look at that, what I see as someone who's not part of Latino culture is that the invitation from whiteness to Latino cultures is to be complicit in their own erasure in order to have access to America. So you have to voluntarily drop your language, drop your accent, change your name, whatever that long list is. And I think when whiteness shows up in a culture in that way where the request or the demand is that you join in your own eraser, I think it leads to a certain kind of moral ignorance, if you will.(23:10):And I say that as somebody coming from a black American experience where I think the demand from whiteness was actually different. We weren't actually asked to participate in our own eraser. We were simply told that there's no version of your existence where you will have access to what whiteness offers to the extent that a drop is a drop is a drop. And by that I mean you could be one 16th black and be enslaved in the United States, whereas, so I think I have lots of questions and curiosities around that, about how whiteness shows up in a particular culture, what does it demand or require, and then what's the trajectory that it puts that culture on? And I'm not suggesting that we don't have ways of self-sabotage in black America. Of course we do. I just think our ways of self-sabotage are nuanced or different from what you're talking about because the way that whiteness has showed up in our culture has required something different of us. And so our sabotage shows up in a different way.(24:40):To me. I don't know. I still don't know what to do with the 20% of black men that voted for Trump. I haven't figured that one out yet. Perhaps I don't have enough moral awareness about that space. But when I look at what happened in Latino culture, at least my theory as someone from the outside looking in is like there's always been this demand or this temptation that you buy the narrative that if you assimilate, then you can have access to power. And so I get it. It's not that far of a leap from that to course I'll vote for you because if I vote for you, then you'll take care of us. You'll be good and kind and generous to me and mine. I get that that's not the deal that was made with black Americans. And so we do something different. Yeah, I don't know. So I'm open to thoughts, rebuttals, rebukes,Jenny (25:54):My mind is going to someone I quote often, Rosa Luxembourg, who was a democratic socialist revolutionary who was assassinated over a hundred years ago, and she wrote a book called Reform or Revolution arguing that the more capitalism is a system built on collapse because every time the system collapse, those who are at the top get to sweep the monopoly board and collect more houses, more land, more people. And so her argument was actually against things like unions and reforms to capitalism because it would only prolong the collapse, which would make the collapse that much more devastating. And her argument was, we actually have to have a revolution because that's the only way we're going to be able to redo this system. And I think that for the folks that I knew that voted for Trump, in my opinion, against their own wellness and what it would bring, it was the sense of, well, hopefully he'll help the economy.(27:09):And it was this idea that he was just running on and telling people he was going to fix the economy. And that's a very real thing for a lot of people that are really struggling. And I think it's easier for us to imagine this paternalistic force that's going to come in and make capitalism better. And yet I think capitalism will only continue to get worse on purpose. If we look at literally yesterday we were at the Department of Environmental Protections and we saw that there was black bags over it and the building was empty. And the things that are happening to our country that the richest of the ridge don't care that people's water and food and land is going to be poisoned in exponential rates because they will not be affected. And until we can get, I think the mass amount of people that are disproportionately impacted to recognize this system will never work for us, I don't know. I don't know what it will take. I know we've used this word coalition. What will it take for us to have a coalition strong enough to actually bring about the type of revolution that would be necessary? IRebecca (28:33):Think it's in part in something that you said, Jenny, the premise that if this doesn't affect me, then I don't have any skin in this game and I don't really care. I think that is what will have to change. I think we have to come to a sense of if it is not well with the person sitting next to me, then it isn't well with me because as long as we have this mindset that if it doesn't directly affect me that it doesn't matter, then I think we're always sort of crabs in a barrel. And so maybe that's idealistic. Maybe that sounds a little pollyannaish, but I do think we have to come to this sense of, and this maybe goes along with what Danielle was saying about the continuum of moral awareness. Can I do the work of becoming aware of people whose existence and life is different than mine? And can that awareness come from this place of compassion and care for things that are harmful and hurtful and difficult and painful for them, even if it's not that way? For me, I think if we can get there with this sense of we rise and fall together, then maybe we have a shot at doing something better.(30:14):I think I just heard on the news the other day that I think it used to be a policy that on MLK Day, certain federal parks and things were free admission, and I think the president signed an executive order that's no longer true, but you could go free if you go on Trump's birthday. The invitation and the demand that is there to care only about yourself and be utterly dismissive of anyone and everyone else is sickening.Jenny (30:51):And it's one of the things that just makes me go insane around Christian nationalism and the rhetoric that people are living biblically just because they don't want gay marriage. But then we'll say literally, I'm just voting for my bank account, or I'm voting so that my taxes don't go to feed people. And I had someone say that to me and they're like, do you really want to vote for your taxes to feed people? I said, absolutely. I would much rather my tax money go to feed people than to go to bombs for other countries. I would do that any day. And as a Christian, should you not vote for the least of these, should you not vote for the people that are going to be most affected? And that dissonance that's there is so crazy making to me because it's really the antithesis of, I think the message of Jesus that's like whatever you do to the least of these, you are doing to me. And instead it's somehow flipped where it's like, I just need to get mine. And that's biblical,Rebecca (31:58):Which I think I agree wholeheartedly as somebody who identifies as a Christian who seeks to live my life as someone that follows the tenets of scripture. I think part of that problem is the introduction of this idea that there are hierarchies to sin or hierarchies to sort of biblical priorities. And so this notion that somehow the question of abortion or gay rights, transgendered rights is somehow more offensive to scripture than not taking care of the least of these, the notion that there's such a thing as a hierarchy there that would give me permission to value one over the other in a way that is completely dismissive of everything except the one or two things that I have deemed the most important is deeply problematic to me.Danielle (33:12):I think just coming back to this concept of I do think there was a sense among the larger community, especially among Latino men, Hispanic men, that range of people that there's high percentage join the military, high percentage have tried to engage in law enforcement and a sense of, well, that made me belong or that gave my family an inn. Or for instance, my grandfather served in World War II and the Korean War and the other side of my family, the German side, were conscientious objectors. They didn't want to fight the Nazis, but then this side worked so hard to assimilate lost language, didn't teach my mom's generation the language. And then we're reintroducing all of that in our generation. And what I noticed is there was a lot of buy-in of we got it, we made it, we made it. And so I think when homeboy was like, Hey, I'm going to do this. They're like, not to me,To me, not to me. It's not going to happen to me. I want my taxes lowered. And the thing is, it is happening to us now. It was always going to, and I think those of us that spoke out or there was a loss of the memory of the old school guys that were advocating for justice. There was a loss there, but I think it's come back with fury and a lot of communities and they're like, oh, crap, this is true. We're not in, you see the videos, people are screaming, I'm an American citizen. They're like, we don't care. Let me just break your arm. Let me run over your legs. Let me take, you're a US service member with a naval id. That's not real. Just pure absurdity is insane. And I think he said he was going to do it, he's doing it. And then a lot of people in our community were speaking out and saying, this is going to happen. And people were like, no, no, no, no, no. Well, guess what?Rebecca (35:37):Right? Which goes back to Martin Luther King's words about injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. The notion that if you're willing to take rights and opportunities and privileges from one, you are willing to take them from all. And so again, back to what Jenny said earlier, this notion that we rise our fall together, and as long as we have this mindset that I can get mine, and it doesn't matter if you don't get yours, there will always be a vulnerability there. And what you're saying is interesting to me, Danielle, talking about the military service in Latino communities or other whatever it is that we believed was the ticket in. And I don't think it's an accident or a coincidence that just around the time that black women are named the most educated and the fastest rising group for graduate and doctoral degrees, you see the dismantling of affirmative action by the Supreme Court.(36:49):You see now, the latest thing is that the Department of Education has come out and declassified a list of degrees as professional degrees. And overwhelmingly the degrees that are named on that list that are no longer considered professional are ones that are inhabited primarily by women and people of color. And I don't think that that is a coincidence, nor do I think it's a coincidence that in the mass firings of the federal government, 300,000 black women lost their jobs. And a lot of that is because in the nineties when we were graduated from college and getting our degrees, corporate America was not a welcome place for people of color, for black people, for black women. So we went into the government sector because that was the place where there was a bit more of a playing field that would allow you to succeed. And I don't think it is a coincidence that the dismantling intentionally of the on-ramps that we thought were there, that would give us a sense of belonging. Like you're in now, right? You have arrived, so to speak. And I am only naming the ones that I see from my vantage point. I hear you naming some things that you see from your vantage point, right? I'm sure, Jenny, you have thoughts about how those things have impacted white women.Jenny (38:20):Yeah, yeah. And I'm thinking about, we also went yesterday to the Native American Museum and I learned, I did not realize this, that there was something called, I want to say, the Pocahontas exception. And if a native person claimed up to one 14th of Pocahontas, DNA, they were then deemed white. What? And it just flabbergasted to me, and it was so evident just this, I was thinking about that when you were talking, Danielle, just like this moving target and this false promise of if you just do enough, if you just, you'll get two. But it's always a lie. It's always been a lie from literally the very first settlers in Jamestown. It has been a lie,Rebecca (39:27):Which is why it's sort of narcissistic and its sort of energy and movement, right? Because narcissism always moves the goalpost. It always changes the roles of the game to advantage the narcissist. And whiteness is good for that. This is where the goalpost is. You step up and meet it, and whiteness moves the goalpost.Danielle (40:00):I think it's funny that Texas redistricted based on how Latinos thought pre pre-migration crackdown, and they did it in Miami and Miami, Miami's democratic mayor won in a landslide just flipped. And I think they're like, oh, shit, what are we going to do? I think it's also interesting. I didn't realize that Steven Miller, who's the architect of this crap, did you know his wife is brownHell. That's creepy shit,Rebecca (40:41):Right? I mean headset. No, no. Vance is married to a brown woman. I'm sure in Trump's mind. Melania is from some Norwegian country, but she's an immigrant. She's not a US citizen. And the Supreme Court just granted cert on the birthright citizenship case, which means we're in trouble.(41:12):Well, I'm worried about everybody because once you start messing with that definition of citizenship, they can massage it any kind of way they want to. And so I don't think anybody's safe. I really don't. I think the low hanging fruit to speak, and I apologize for that language, is going to be people who are deemed undocumented, but they're not going to stop there. They're coming for everybody and anybody they can find any reason whatsoever to decide that you're not, if being born on US soil is not sufficient, then the sky's the limit. And just like they did at the turn of the century when they decided who was white and who wasn't and therefore who could vote and who could own property or who couldn't, we're going to watch the total and reimagining of who has access to power.Danielle (42:14):I just am worried because when you go back and you read stories about the Nazis or you read about genocide and other places in the world, you get inklings or World War I or even more ancient wars, you see these leads up in these telltale signs or you see a lead up to a complete ethnic cleansing, which is what it feels like we're gearing up for.I mean, and now with the requirement to come into the United States, even as a tourist, when you enter the border, you have to give access to five years of your social media history. I don't know. I think some people think, oh, you're futurizing too much. You're catastrophizing too much. But I'm like, wait a minute. That's why we studied history, so we didn't do this again. Right?Jenny (43:13):Yeah. I saw this really moving interview with this man who was 74 years old protesting outside of an nice facility, and they were talking to him and one of the things he said was like, Trump knows immigrants are not an issue. He's not concerned about that at all. He is using this most vulnerable population to desensitize us to masked men, stealing people off the streets.Rebecca (43:46):I agree. I agree. Yeah, a hundred percent. And I think it's desensitizing us. And I don't actually think that that is Trump. I don't know that he is cunning enough to get that whoever's masterminding, project 2025 and all that, you can ask the question in some ways, was Hitler actually antisemitic or did he just utilize the language of antisemitism to mask what he was really doing? And I don't mean that to sort of sound flippant or deny what happened in the Holocaust. I'm suggesting that same thing. In some ways it's like because America is vulnerable to racialized language and because racialized rhetoric moves masses of people, there's a sense in which, let me use that. So you won't be paying attention to the fact that I just stole billions of dollars out of the US economy so that you won't notice the massive redistribution of wealth and the shutting off of avenues to upward social mobility.(45:12):And the masses will follow you because they think it's about race, when in actuality it's not. Because if they're successful in undoing birthright citizenship, you can come after anybody you want because all of our citizenship is based on the fact that we were born on US soil. I don't care what color you are, I do not care what lineage you have. Every person in this country or every person that claims to be a US citizen, it's largely based on the fact that you were born on US soil. And it's easy to say, oh, we're only talking about the immigrants. But so far since he took office, we've worked our way through various Latin cultures, Somali people, he's gone after Asian people. I mean, so if you go after birthright citizenship and you tell everyone, we're only talking about people from brown countries, no, he's not, and it isn't going to matter. They will find some arbitrary line to decide you have power to vote to own property. And they will decide, and this is not new in US history. They took whole businesses, land property, they've seized property and wealth from so many different cultures in US history during Japanese internment during the Tulsa massacre. And those are only the couple that I could name. I'm sure Jenny and Danielle, you guys could name several, right? So it's coming and it's coming for everybody.Jenny (47:17):So what are you guys doing to, I know that you're both doing a lot to resist, and we talk a lot about that. What are you doing to care for yourself in the resistance knowing that things will get worse and this is going to be a long battle? What does helping take care of yourself look like in that for you?Danielle (47:55):I dunno, I thought about this a lot actually, because I got a notification from my health insurance that they're no longer covering thyroid medication that I take. So I have to go back to my doctor and find an alternative brand, hopefully one they would cover or provide more blood work to prove that that thyroid medication is necessary. And if you know anything about thyroids, it doesn't get better. You just take that medicine to balance yourself. So for me, my commitment and part of me would just want to let that go whenever it runs out at the end of December. But for me, one way I'm trying to take care of myself is one, stocking up on it, and two, I've made an appointment to go see my doctor. So I think just trying to do regular things because I could feel myself say, you know what?(48:53):Just screw it. I could live with this. I know I can't. I know I can technically maybe live, but it will cause a lot of trouble for me. So I think there's going to be probably not just for me, but for a lot of people, like invitations as care changes, like actual healthcare or whatever. And sometimes those decisions financially will dictate what we can do for ourselves, but I think as much as I can, I want to pursue staying healthy. And it's not just that just eating and exercising. So that's one way I'm thinking about it.Rebecca (49:37):I think I'm still in the phase of really curating my access to information and data. There's so much that happens every day and I cannot take it all in. And so I still largely don't watch the news. I may scan a headline once every couple days just to kind of get the general gist of what is happening because I can't, I just cannot take all of that in. Yeah, it will be way too overwhelming, I think. So that still has been a place of that feels like care. And I also think trying to move a little bit more, get a little bit of, and I actually wrote a blog post this month about chocolate because when I grew up in California seas, chocolate was a whole thing, and you cannot get it on the east coast. And so I actually ordered myself a box of seas chocolate, and I'm waiting for it to arrive at my house costs way too much money. But for me, that piece of chocolate represents something that makes me smile about my childhood. And plus, who doesn't think chocolate is care? And if you live a life where chocolate does not care, I humbly implore you to change your definition of care. But yeah, so I mean it is something small, but these days, small things that feel like there's something to smile about or actually big things.Jenny (51:30):I have been trying to allow myself to take dance classes. It's my therapy and it just helps me. A lot of the things that we're talking about, I don't have words for, I can only express through movement now. And so being able to be in a space where my body is held and I don't have to think about how to move my body and I can just have someone be like, put your hand here. That has been really supportive for me. And just feeling my body move with other bodies has been really supportive for me.Rebecca (52:17):Yeah. The other thing I would just add is that we started this conversation talking about Marjorie Taylor Green and the ways in which I feel like her response is insufficient, but there is a part of me that feels like it is a response, it however small it is, an acknowledgement that something isn't right. And I do think you're starting to see a little bit of that seep through. And I saw an interview recently where someone suggested it's going to take more than just Trump out of office to actually repair what has been broken over the last several years. I think that's true. So I want to say that putting a little bit of weight in the cracks in the surface feels a little bit like care to me, but it still feels risky. I don't know. I'm hopeful that something good will come of the cracks that are starting to surface the people that are starting to say, actually, this isn't what I meant when I voted. This isn't what I wanted when I voted. That cities like Miami are electing democratic mayors for the first time in 30 years, but I feel that it's a little bit risky. I am a little nervous about how far it will go and what will that mean. But I think that I can feel the beginnings of a seedling of hope that maybe this won't be as bad as maybe we'll stop it before we go off the edge of a cliff.

But I was invited to do the good work of (re)building a solid foundation. More than once in my life, I have witnessed God send someone my way at just the right moment to help me understand my own story, and to find the strength to step away from the seemingly inevitable ending of living life in defeat. More than once I have been invited and challenged to find the resilience that lies within me to overcome the difficult moment. To trust in the goodness and the power of a kind gesture. What follows is a snapshot of a pivotal invitation to trust the kindness of another in my own story. May it invite you to receive to the pivotal invitation of kindness in your own story.

Un grupo de militares salvadoreños, entre ellos un exministro de Defensa, enfrentará juicio por la masacre de casi mil civiles ocurrida en 1981 durante una ofensiva estatal contra las guerrillas de izquierda. El proceso marca un hito en la lucha legal iniciada en 1990 para llevar ante la justicia a los responsables de la peor matanza en la historia reciente de América Latina. Sin embargo, el abogado de derechos humanos David Morales, miembro de Cristosal, advierte sobre la falta de voluntad política para respetar el proceso. Entre 1980 y 1992, El Salvador vivió una guerra civil que enfrentó a las fuerzas militares contra la guerrilla del Frente Farabundo Martí para la Liberación Nacional, dejando alrededor de 75.000 muertos en centenares de masacres. La más grave ocurrió en 1981 en el cantón El Mozote, donde el Batallón Atlacatl, perteneciente al Ejército, asesinó y torturó a cerca de mil campesinos, en su mayoría niños. Ahora, 40 años después, y pese a la represión social y política que vive el país, la organización de derechos humanos Cristosal anunció que finalmente habrá un juicio contra los máximos responsables del batallón. Trece de los presuntos autores fueron enviados a juicio, según una resolución emitida el pasado 26 de noviembre por el Juzgado de Instrucción de San Francisco Gotera, informó Cristosal en un comunicado. No obstante, persisten dudas sobre los resultados del proceso, señaló a RFI David Morales, abogado y miembro de la organización. "En este momento, el régimen autoritario salvadoreño tiene un mayor control sobre la sociedad civil. Aún no tenemos claro si se va a respetar el proceso judicial, si no habrá injerencias políticas que impidan el desenlace de una audiencia pública y sentencia". Falta de voluntad política Durante cuatro décadas, los gobiernos de El Salvador negaron la masacre, a pesar de que instituciones como la Corte Interamericana de Derechos Humanos corroboraron los hechos. Aunque el discurso anticorrupción del actual presidente Nayib Bukele dio cierta esperanza a los familiares de las víctimas, sus medidas para controlar el poder judicial han entorpecido el proceso, obligando a renunciar al juez que llevaba el caso en 2021. "El poder militar en El Salvador ha tenido una posición contraria a la ley y a la Constitución, al derecho internacional. Se ha protegido a los miembros de la Fuerza Armada que cometieron crímenes de guerra, se han obstruido archivos y negado información. Todos los presidentes civiles, hasta Nayib Bukele, han sido dóciles ante esta postura", sostiene Morales. Este año se llevó a cabo un proceso contra el exministro de Defensa, Guillermo García, acusado también en el caso El Mozote por el asesinato de cuatro periodistas neerlandeses. A pesar de ello, el abogado señala que 2025 ha estado marcado por la persecución a organizaciones de derechos humanos, activistas y voces críticas. "Nuestra expectativa es que estos precedentes puedan ayudar a que otros casos avancen. Pero, a pesar de estos avances, el escenario general es de sostenimiento de la impunidad. La Fiscalía General, en la gran mayoría de casos, o tribunales como el que lleva el caso del calabozo, actúan con muchas omisiones y falta de voluntad para profundizar en las investigaciones. De tal manera que casos como el de los periodistas holandeses o El Mozote han sido excepcionales. En los restantes casos no estamos viendo esa voluntad", concluye Morales. Ante este panorama, Cristosal exige que el Estado respete el avance del proceso y permita hacer justicia a las víctimas de una de las peores masacres del continente.
What if the most damaging phrase in your marketing isn't a four-letter word, but three simple ones: "Do Not Reply"? Agility requires more than just moving fast; it requires breaking down the walls between departments to respond to customer needs in the moment they happen. It's about empowering every part of the organization to act as one cohesive brand, turning every interaction into a meaningful conversation. Today, we're going to talk about the end of an era: of one-way, impersonal, "do not reply" marketing. We'll explore the shift from siloed campaigns to unified, real-time conversations, and what it takes to empower every single employee, from sales to service, to be an extension of the marketing team to build trust and drive growth. To help me discuss this topic, I'd like to welcome, Bobby Jania, CMO Marketing Cloud at Salesforce.

Impending Medicaid cuts, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act's defunding of Planned Parenthood, and the freezing of Title X funding have fueled clinic closures across rural areas. Ashley Kurzweil, Senior Policy Analyst for Reproductive Health and Rights at the National Partnership for Women and Families and Sarah Coombs, Director for Health System Transformation at the National Partnership for Women and Families sit down to talk with us about the future of rural hospitals and clinics and the patients they care for. Many Medicaid cuts will take effect in January of 2027. One of the most immediate impacts of the law is the failure to extend premium tax credits-- which helps those who do not have access to Medicaid or employer-sponsored health coverage-- afford marketplace coverage. Rural residents, who have higher rates of Medicaid coverage and benefits from enhanced ACA premium tax credits, will be disproportionately affected. Increased financial strain will be placed on these rural hospitals, and maternal health programs, labor and delivery units, and reproductive health care clinics will be dire in rural areas. This will disproportionality impact Black communities, indigenous communities, and Latina communities, as well as rural health workers.For more information, check out Amicus with Dhalia Lithwick: https://slate.com/podcasts/amicusSupport the showFollow Us on Social: Twitter: @rePROsFightBack Instagram: @reprosfbFacebook: rePROs Fight Back Bluesky: @reprosfightback.bsky.social Buy rePROs Merch: Bonfire store Email us: jennie@reprosfightback.comRate and Review on Apple PodcastThanks for listening & keep fighting back!

What if the biggest threat to your brand's profitability isn't the next tariff or supply chain disruption, but an outdated playbook that forces you to choose between raising prices on loyal customers or sacrificing your margins?Agility requires more than just reacting quickly to market changes; it requires the intelligence to anticipate them and automate the optimal response. Today, we're going to talk about how leading retail brands are navigating complex economic pressures like tariffs and inflation—not by resorting to the old tactics of deep discounts or across-the-board price hikes, but by deploying AI to create a more resilient and intelligent operation. We'll explore how AI is helping brands maintain pricing stability, turn insights from major shopping events into real-time strategy, and fundamentally shift teams from staring at dashboards to taking automated, margin-protecting actions. To help me discuss this topic, I'd like to welcome, Sai Koppala, CMO at CommerceIQ. About Sai Koppala Sai brings over 20 years of marketing and strategy experience.

What if the biggest threat to your brand's agility and security isn't a competitor, but the welcome mat you lay out for your own partners? Agility requires not just the ability to move quickly, but the confidence to do so securely. It's about building a foundation of trust that enables seamless collaboration without introducing unnecessary risk. Today, we're going to talk about a critical, yet often overlooked, aspect of brand agility: the digital experience we provide to our third-party partners. From marketing agencies to technology vendors, these relationships are essential, but the very processes meant to enable them—like onboarding and system access—can often be the source of massive friction, security risks, and a fundamental breakdown of trust. To help me discuss this topic, I'd like to welcome, Haider Iqbal, Director, Identity & Access Management at Thales. About Haider Iqbal Haider is a technology leader and strategist with a career that spans consulting, sales, acquisitions, and product marketing across multiple regions. He has guided multimillion-dollar sales efforts, played a key role in a $100 million identity-sector acquisition, and now leads product marketing for Thales's IAM business. With roots in management consulting and a track record of translating complex technology into business growth, Haider brings both breadth and depth of expertise. Driven by a mindset of constant learning and unlearning, he is passionate about building technology that is inclusive, trustworthy, and safe for future generations. Outside of work, Haider can often be found on a cricket pitch, volleyball court, or golf course, with very occasional success.
